The footage you have is still usable - instead of playing the tape in a DV deck, play it from the camera and downconvert to DV as it plays out. It's all there in the menu but I can't remember the exact settings offhand.

In future, if you want to be able to use the tapes in a standard definition deck, change the menu settings to record standard definition instead of HDV. If you can't find the settings I can help but have a look and see how you go.
